That's wild that someone had such a strong reaction to something you said. But you should really try not to put that on yourself. If you spend time with people who are self assured, they are not going to have that kind of reaction. Yes, it's nice to do our best to try to make the people around us feel at ease, but genuinely trying is the best you can do. If your best isn't good enough for someone, that's when you move on and hopefully find people who are a better fit. I know that's easier said than done since you're dealing with some past trauma around friendships, but I hope you're able to find your people.
